Each year, over 250,000 women in North America discover they have breast cancer. Increasing the sensitivity of the fingertips is important to detect tumors early, before they spread. Self-examination is one way for women to detect changes in breast tissue. However, it has to be done properly for tiny tumors to be caught in time.
The EarlyDETECT Breast Examination pad is designed to increase sensitivity and reduce friction. It makes testing ten times more sensitive than usual, so that women can detect much smaller lumps. Each kit includes an instruction video featuring a live model to demonstrate the proper steps to examine one’s breasts.

The patient should familiarize herself with the Breast Examination pad before using it for the first time and proceed as follows:
1. Rub the pad between your hands to spread the lubricant inside the pad. This also warms ;the pad to body temperature.
2. Lay the pad over the area to be examined. Press down firmly on the pad with fingers flat and move them over the area. The top layer of the pad moves while the bottom layer remains stationary. Because there is less friction, fingers are more sensitive.
3. The patient should repeat this until she is familiar with the ‘feel’ of the pad.
The EarlyDETECT Breast Examination pad should be kept at room temperature. It should not be used in the shower. If it becomes soiled, simply wipe it with a damp cloth.

General Guidlines
Perform a complete breast self-exam using your bare hand. Then, drape the EarlyDETECT Pad over your bare breast and repeat the breast self-exam. The top layer of the EarlyDETECT Pad will move easily over the bottom layer because of the reduced friction. Illustrated guidelines for the breast self-exam with and without the EarlyDETECT Pad follow.
Breast self-examination should be performed both standing up and lying down. It is very important that your breast self-exam be peformed with both the bare hand and with the EarlyDETECT Pad. Be sure to take enought time to examine both breast thoroughly.
Step 1: Examination of your right breast with your right arm raised as illustrated. Raising your arm will ensure even distribution of breast tissue for a more thorough exam. Pressing firmly with your fingers flat, slide over every part of your breast and armpit, feeeling for a lump or hardness. Once you have completed the bare handed exam, repeat the entire procedure with the EarlyDETECT Pad. Holding the EarlyDETECT Pad over your breast with your fingers flat, press firmly on the EarlyDETECT Pad and slide over every part of your breast and armpit. Remember, you are feeling for a lump or hardness. Perform both the bare handed and EarlyDETECT Pad exam on your left breast.
Step 2: The second part of the breast self-exam should be performed while lying on your back. Place a pillow under your right shoulder as illustrated. Placing the pillow under your shoulder will help to spread the breast tissue over your chest wall. Raise your right arm and examine your right breast. Remember to examine every part of your breast and armpit, feeling for a lump or hardness.
This exam should be performed both with and without the EarlyDETECT Pad on both the right and left breasts.
Step 3: The third and final step of the breast self-exam should be performed while standing in front of a well lighted mirror. With your hands at your side, look for any skin changes such as dimpling or puckering. Then place your palms on your hips and press down firmly, flexing your chest muscles. Check again for any changes. Gently squeeze the nipple between the thumb and index finger to see if there is any discharge. Any discharge should be discussed with your doctor.
IMPORTANT
If you discover a lump, puckering or discharge during either the bare handed breast exam or the breast exam using the EarlyDETECT Pad, it is important that you see your doctor as soon as possible.
